Audible signals
Audible signals have been introduced to help indicate
which operations the dishwasher is performing.
Short "instruction accepted" signal
When any of the push buttons are pressed (except for the
On/Off push button), a short audible signal informs you that
the machine has accepted the instruction given.
Long "programme run" signal
A continuous audible signal informs you that the washing
programme is starting.
Intermittent "end of programme" signal
An intermittent audible signal informs you that the wash
programme has ended.
"Alarm" intermittent signal
The machine is fitted with a number of alarm systems to help
you determine the cause of any problems (see "Something
not working"). An intermittent audible signal (for at least 15
seconds) informs you that an alarm is activated.
To deactivate these audible signals, press the "Delay start"
push button for about 3 seconds, at the end of which an
intermittent audible signal informs you that the audible signals
have been deactivated.
To reactivate these audible signals, press the "Delay start"
push button for about 3 seconds, at the end of which an
intermittent audible signal informs you that the audible signals
have been reactivated.
Both operations (to deactivate or reactivate the audible
signals) must be carried out before a washing programme
performance.
The setting will remain memorised after switching off the
dishwasher.
Before using your dishwasher for the
first time:
1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply
with the installation instructions
2. Remove all packaging from inside the appliance
3. Set the water softener
4. Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill
with salt
5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
6. Run a "Rinse and Hold" programme.
Setting the water softener
The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to
remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would
have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the
appliance.
The higher the content of these salts, the harder your water is.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German,
French degrees and PPM (parts per million).
The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of
the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise
you on the hardness of the water in your area.
The dishwasher is factory set at level 4.
If this level is not suitable for your area, the softener should be
adjusted.
If your water is level 0 it is already soft and therefore there
is no need to use salt.
With the setting of the water softener at level 0 the salt
indicator light on the control panel will always remain off.
Use salt from level 1 upwards.

the dishwasher is off and then proceed
as follows:
1. Press the "On/Off" push button.
2. Press simultaneously for about 5 seconds the 70° 80
I
and
65° push buttons, in the digital display appears the current

push button,
the dishwasher memorises the level selected and returns to
the programme setting mode.
Filling with salt
Only use salt specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in
a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water
softener.
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete
washing programmes.
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which
may have been spilled, remaining on the bottom of the
machine for any period of time, which may cause
corrosion.
To fill:
1. To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt container.
2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary
only before filling with salt for the first time).
3. Using the funnel provided,
pour in the salt until the
container is full.
Do not worry if water over
flows from the unit when
filling with salt, this is quite
normal.
4. Replace the cap making
sure that there is no trace
of salt on the screw thread
or on the gasket.
5. Screw on the cap tightly.
The salt container will require topping up periodically.
You are reminded of this by the salt indicator light on the
control panel which comes on when the salt has finished.
The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain
illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been
replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched
on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve then
this can take longer. The function of the machine is not
affected.
Rinse aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring
thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying. The
dispenser, which is positioned inside the door, holds about 110
ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing
programmes, depending upon the dosage setting.
Filling with rinse aid
1. Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise.
2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full.
The indicator (B) will be completely dark.
3. Top up the rinse aid when the rinse aid indicator light on the
control panel illuminates.
Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.
Do not put liquid detergent in the rinse aid compartment. Clean
up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to
avoid excess foaming during the next wash.
Adjusting the dose
According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the
dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (C)
(position 1 minimum dosage, position 6 maximum dosage).
Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on
the dishes after washing.
Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes.

Use of detergent
Only use detergents specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
If using powder detergents proceed as follows:
1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D).
2. Add the detergent according to the recommended quantity
given in the "Washing programmes" chart.
As all detergents are not the same, you should also consult
the instructions given on the packet.
3. Always close the lid.
4. If the programme has a prewash add the required detergent
in the WRD detergent dispenser, located in the centre of the
upper basket.
Follow the recommended quantity of detergent given in the
"Washing programmes" chart.
If using detergent in tablets proceed as follows:
1. For all programmes; place 1 tablet inside the detergent
dispenser.
2. Always close the lid.
3. For all programmes with prewash; place a portion of a
further tablet on the lid of the detergent dispenser.
ONLY in case of use of detergent in tablets with the Quick 60°
A 30
I
programme, it is advisable to put the tablet directly in the
dishwasher and not in the dispenser or in special tablet
containers.
Insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor
washing results, whereas an excessive amount of
detergent will not improve washing results and is also
wasteful.
Using no more than the correct amount also contributes
to reducing pollution.
Compact detergents with enzymes
In these compact powders the environmentally unfriendly
components have been replaced by natural enzymes and
other more biodegradable substances.
The enzymes deploy their full dirt dissolving power at a
temperature as low as 50°C.
By choosing the "50°C" programmes you can therefore
achieve the same cleaning results that would otherwise be
achievable only with 65°C programmes and conventional
detergents.

Loading your appliance
Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of
food, to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing
the performance.
Do not load very small items which can fall through the
baskets.
Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.
The lower basket
The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates,
salad bowls, cutlery etc.
Large dishes and lids should be arranged around the edge of
the basket, ensuring that the upper spray arm can turn freely.
The two rear rows of prongs on the lower basket can be easily
lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls.
To lower the prongs:
- Slightly pull them upward and let them drop down
(see picture).
- To bring them back to the standing position, just pull them up
again.
The cutlery basket
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a
potential hazard.
These items should only be placed in the removable knife
basket.
Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as
knives.
Removable knife basket
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives
must be placed horizontally in the removable knife basket,
which is positioned at the rear of the upper basket.
Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket
with the handles facing downwards. If the handles protrude
from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm,
load the cutlery with the handles facing upwards.
Ensure that cutlery is positioned in the compartments and that
soiled surfaces do not touch each other.
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking
together.
Silver cutlery tends to go black if mixed with steel cutlery.
Place it in the cutlery basket separate from the others.
For best results use the cutlery grids inserts provided (if the
size and dimensions of the cutlery allow it).
The cutlery basket is in two parts which can be separated to
give greater loading flexibility. To separate the two parts, slide
them horizontally in opposite directions and pull them apart. To
reassemble, reverse the procedure.
The upper basket
The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates,
saucers, dinner plates of up to 25 cm in diameter), salad
bowls, cups and glasses.
Arrange items on and
underneath the cup racks so
that water can reach all
surfaces.
Light items (plastic bowls
etc.) must be loaded in the
upper basket and arranged
so they do not move.
In case that plates are loaded in the upper
basket:
load them starting from the
rear positions of the
basket, tilting them slightly
forwards and avoiding the
front positions near the
door.
Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can
rotate freely.

Adjusting the height of the upper basket
If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 32 cm in
diameter) you can load them in the lower basket after moving
the upper basket to the higher position.
Attention!
Never lift or lower the basket on one side only.
To move to the higher position proceed as
follows:
1. Pull out the basket until it
stops.
2. Carefully lift both sides
upwards until the
mechanism is engaged
and the basket is stable.
When the top basket is in the higher position it will only
take plates up to 20 cm in diameter and you will not be
able to use the cup racks.
To lower the basket to the original position
proceed as follows:
1. Pull out the basket until it stops.
2. Carefully lift both sides upwards and the allow the
mechanism to drop back slowly, keeping hold of it.
After loading your machine always close the door, as an
open door can be a hazard.
To save energy
Place dishes in the machine immediately after every meal and
wait until the dishwasher is full before washing.
If necessary run the Rinse and Hold programme (see
"Washing Programmes" chart) so that any food scraps do not
become caked on the dishes while you are waiting to run the
complete wash programme.
Do not prewash dishes under running water.
Select an economic programme when dishes are not very
soiled, following the instructions given in the "Washing
programmes" chart.
Select the "half load" option if only a few dishes need
washing. Remember to load all the dishes into both baskets.
For best washing results
Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak very
heavily soiled pots and pans.
Arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. upside-down.
Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the water
drains off easily.
Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible.
Items not suitable for dishwashers
The following items should not be washed in the
dishwasher (unless they are sold as dishwasher proof):
- Cutlery with wooden or horn handles or glued parts
- bronze cutlery
- saucepans with wooden handles
- aluminium ware
- crystal ware
- leaded glass
- plastic items
- antique or fine decorated china
Certain types of decoration can discolour when washed in a
dishwasher.
Crystal-ware and plastic objects, if not guaranteed dishwasher
proof should be washed by hand.
Certain types of glass can also become opaque
after being washed several times in a dishwasher.
A chemical reaction can occur between silver cutlery and
stainless steel cutlery. As a precaution, do not wash together.
Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other items.
Aluminium tends to go black, copper, pewter and
brass tend to stain.
If in doubt check with manufacturer of the item.
When buying new dishes, ensure that they are dishwasher
proof.

Important!
In general it is not advisable to open the door while the
machine is working; if the door is opened however, a
safety device ensures that the machine stops.
Care must be taken if the door is opened during the hot
phase or immediately after a programme has finished, as
steam may escape.
When the washing programme has finished, it is
recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the
water tap turned off.
29
Internal cleaning
Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse
aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth.
We recommend every 3 months to run a 65°C wash
programme without dishes using detergent.
Cleaning the central filter
(After each wash)
Scraps of food may accumulate in the drain filter (A) and
should be removed by rinsing the filter under running water.
To remove the drain filter
- simply pull it out by the handle.
Once cleaned, refit the filter by pushing it back to its original
position until it engages.
Cleaning the large filter
(Every week)
If necessary clean the large filter (B) on both sides under
running water, using a brush.
To remove the large filter
1. Remove the spray arm by pulling it upwards on one side.
2. Turn the column (C) anticlockwise by 90° and then slide out
the filter.
3. Once cleaned refit it following the above instructions in
reverse order.
4. Ensure the filter is in its original position, the handle of the
drain filter should be pointing towards the front of the
appliance.
The dishwasher must not be used without filters.
Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will
produce poor washing results.
Cleaning the filters is vital to ensure correct operation of
the machine.
Check that the WRD is not clogged with detergent residue. If
necessary rinse it under running water after having removed it
from the basket by twisting it anticlockwise and pulling it
upwards.
Fasten it back onto the support by turning it clockwise.
Never use your dishwasher
without the WRD
dispenser.
Since WRD also ensures
correct distribution of the
water to the upper
sprayarm, running the
dishwasher without it will
impair the washing results.
External cleaning
Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel
with a damp soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral
detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or
solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc....).
Prolonged periods of non-operation
If you are not using the machine for any period of time you
are advised to:
1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water.
2. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
3. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any
unpleasant smells.
4. Leave the inside of the machine clean.
Frost precautions
Avoid placing the machine in a location where the temperature
is below 0°C. If this is unavoidable, empty the machine, close
the appliance door, disconnect the water inlet pipe and empty
it.
Moving the machine
If you have to move the machine (moving house etc....):
1. Unplug it.
2. Turn the water tap off.
3. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses.
4. Pull the machine out together with the hoses.
Avoid over tilting the machine during transportation.

Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out an engineer.
The dishwasher is fitted with a number of alarm systems which can help you to quickly determine the cause of any problems.
The dishwasher will not start or stops during operation, all push buttons are inoperative except for the On/Off push button and all the
indicator lights are off, except for the indicator light of the programme in progress that starts flashing. An audible signal will inform
you of the alarm intervention. In the digital display one of the following flashing fault codes will appear: AL1, Al2, AL3, AL4, AL5, AL6,
AL7, AL8.
Press the On/Off push button to switch off the dishwasher and carry out the following suggested corrective actions listed below.
Once the checks have been carried out switch on the dishwasher and start a washing programme, if the fault code reappears
contact your local Service Force Centre.

(see picture).
Service and spare parts
This product should be serviced by an authorised Service
engineer, and only genuine spare parts should be used.
Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the
machine yourself.
Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause
injury or serious malfunctioning.
Contact your local Service Force Centre.
Always insist on genuine spare parts.
Protection against flooding
In order to prevent water floods, the machine has been
provided with two additional devices, having the following
characteristics:
1. In the water inlet hose (see "Water supply connections").
The device comes into operation as a result of any damage
to the water inlet hose and stops the water inflow.
To repair the machine call the Service Centre.
2. In the bottom of the machine: the device comes into
operation as a result of any water leaks in the machine.
In case of malfunction a fault code will appear in the digital
display: "AL4".
In this case turn off the water tap and call the Service
Centre.

Any electrical work required to install this appliance
should be carried out by a qualified electrician or
competent person.
Any plumbing work required to install this appliance
should be carried out by a qualified plumber or competent
person.
Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.
If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a
drain.
Water supply connections
This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max. 50°) or cold
water.
Nevertheless we advise you a cold water supply.
A hot water supply is not always efficient with very soiled
crockery as it shortens the washing programmes a lot.
The water pressure must be within the limits given in the
technical specifications.
Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average
mains pressure in your area.
The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be
turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation.
The locknut must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks.
Do not use, for connection, old hoses which have been
used in another appliance.
Avoid bends or kinks in the hose which could prevent or slow
down the water supply.
If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have
not been used for a long time, you should run the water for a
few minutes before connecting the inlet hose. This will prevent
deposits of sand or rust clogging the inlet hose filter.
For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the
machine’s supply hose is designed to screw onto either a 3/4
inch gas thread spout, or to a purpose made quick-coupling
tap such as the Press-block.
The water supply hose is fitted with a safety device, which
prevents water from entering the machine should the inner
hose split, due to wear.
The problem is signalled by a red indicator which appears in
the window (B - ➀ ➁).
If this happens, close the water tap and have the hose
replaced.
The retaining ring (A - ➀➁) must be properly fitted so as to
avoid water leaks.
Note:
Only for water supply hoses with Lock-fast safety device to
prevent inadvertent loosening.
To detach the hose press yellow lever (C - ) and turn the
retaining ring anticlockwise .
Water outlet hose connection
The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following
ways:
1. To the sink outlet spigot, securing it if necessary with a clip.
2. Hooked over the edge of the sink using the special curved
plastic guide provided.
3. To a stand pipe provided with vent-hole, minimum internal
diameter 4 cm.
The waste connection must be at a height of between 30 cm
(minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of the
dishwasher.
The drain hose can face either to the right or left of the
dishwasher
Ensure the hose is not bent or squashed as this could prevent
or slow down the discharge of water.
If you use a drain hose extension it must be no longer than 2
metres and its internal diameter must be no smaller than the
diameter of the hose provided.
Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used for
connections to the waste outlet must be no smaller than the
diameter of the hose provided.
The sink plug must not be in place when the machine is
draining as this could cause the water to siphon back into
the machine.
Attention!
Our appliances are supplied with a security device to
protect against the return of dirty water back into the
machine.
If the spigot of your sink has a "no return valve"
incorporated this can prevent the correct draining of your
dishwasher.
We advise you therefore to remove it.

Electrical connection
Before plugging the appliance into the wall socket, make sure
that:
1. The mains voltage corresponds to the voltage given in the
"Technical specifications".
2. The meter, fuses, mains power supply and wall socket can
all take the maximum load required.
Make sure that the socket and plug are compatible without
having to use any type of adaptor. If necessary, have the
domestic wiring system socket replaced.
Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed.
The manufacture accepts no liability for failure to observe
the above safety precautions.
Fitting under a counter
(kitchen worktop or sink)
By removing the machine’s worktop, you can install it under a
close fitting sink unit or a pre-existing top, providing the
dimensions of the recess correspond to those shown in the
picture.
Proceed as follows:
- Remove the machine’s worktop by unscrewing the two rear
retaining screws, pull from the front and slide out the rear
slots, lifting the worktop.
Insert the machine after adjusting height and levelling with the
adjustable feet. When inserting the machine, ensure that the
water inlet and drain hoses are not kinked or squashed.
Levelling
Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of
the door.
When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not catch
on the levelling spacers on either side of the cabinet.
If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the
adjustable feet until the machine is perfectly level.
